Ex-Arsenal starlet and more: 3 free transfer bargains Wigan Athletic must eye this summer
Wigan Athletic are looking to enjoy a fruitful summer transfer window as they bid to push further up the League One table.
Wigan Athletic hold high hopes for next season after recovering well from a points deduction last time around.
Four new signings have already come through the door. Dion Rankine and Andy Lonergan are in on permanent deals while Calvin Ramsay and Michael Olakigbe have arrived on loan.
Free transfer deals will be a shrewd way for Maloney to bolster his Wigan Athletic ranks. Here, we put forward three free agent bargains the Latics should set their sights on this summer…
Tyreece John-Jules
Striker John-Jules has had an injury-hit senior career but there’s no doubt that he’s a player with exciting potential. As a free agent after his Arsenal release, there will be EFL clubs keeping tabs on his situation.
The 23-year-old has plenty of League One experience to his name having spent much of the recent seasons out on loan, netting 10 goals and providing four assists at the level. If he can stay fit and get on a run of form, John-Jules could become a real asset.
On a free transfer, perhaps on a short-term deal too, John-Jules could be a good option for Wigan Athletic to add to their depleted strike force.
